These 10 States Have the Lowest Grocery Prices Right Now—Is Yours One of Them?
Groceries are expensive right now no matter where you live—but location makes a huge impact on just how much you pay. Food Label Maker just released its report on the highest and lowest grocery prices by state, based on average costs per person in 2024, and there is a huge disparity between the cheapest and most expensive (Hawaii, Alaska, and California).
“With rising inflation, understanding where your state stands in terms of grocery affordability has never been more important,” said a spokesperson from Food Label Maker via Chain Store Age. “Access to reasonably priced groceries directly impacts the ability to maintain a balanced diet and make healthier nutritional choices. Consumers are increasingly focusing on stretching their budgets while prioritizing the quality and nutritional value of their purchases. This study provides valuable insights that can help individuals and families make informed decisions about their food shopping habits.”
So does your state make the list for cheapest grocery prices? Read on to find out.
Georgia

Georgia comes in at number 10 with a 29.30% increase in prices over the past two years. These prices may seem cheaper to someone who lives in California, but that steep increase is nothing to sneeze at for the average Georgia resident.
Tennessee

Tennessee comes in at number 9, with a 20.15% increase in prices over the last two years. State politicians are discussing dropping the grocery sales tax to help people afford the basics. “Do people think that you should get the same tax break for buying a Coke than you should if you’re buying a gallon of milk?” Speaker Cameron Sexton told The Tennessean. “I want to do the staples that everybody usually buys, and the other stuff is accessories, for lack of a better term.”
